Hi all, please help I am stuck.
I have installed a external unipack scsi tape drive. The tape drive is Exabyte Eliant 820. All I did was connected scsi cable and power it on. When issued "probe-scsi-all" command, the tape is correctly identified. However, when issued "dmesg | more" command, the tape is not found.
Whatever backup commands I issued such as mt, tar, or ufsdump, I would just get "/dev/rmt/0n no device or address" message.
Here are questions hoping you can help out:
1. do I need to do any configuration to prepare tape drive for use? such as mounting?
2. what other methods can I use to verify that the tape drive is recognized by O/S and ready to be used.
my system info:
Sun Ultra 5 running solaris 7
Thanks in advance for your help.
